Vibraction Road book 28
We have just returned from doing the Route 28 St Jean Pied de Port to Teruel.
We were a little apprehensive having two little ones with us but hey what a fantastic journey through such a geologically diverse country.
We now look forward to 2018 maybe have some company with us in the form of some more budding trekkers.
Photos to follow once I have sorted them!!
The car was the star it performed brilliantly the drive from Calais to all the 350 miles of offroad temperatures reaching 37 deg C at times in the shade!iiD Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool

If you ask Vibraction will send you PDF copies of the road book which you can then copy and paste the narrative into a google translator.
However the road book combined with the waypoints is easy enough to follow without translating it.
